"Somewhat similar, but more depressing: Some years ago I was in
Florida,
riding the coast from Amelia Island southward past Jacksonville. I was
going to visit some people I knew in a large gated community south of
Jacksonville."

"Anyway, I was able to find pleasant roads all the way, including an
interesting ferry ride. But south of the city, I came to an ugly
looking
four lane. Yes, I could ride it; but checking my map, I saw there was
a
small road right along the shore, sure to be more pleasant."

"The easiest way to get to it was through another gated community. I
went
up to the young guy guarding the gate in his little guard house and
asked if I was allowed to cut through. Of course not! Anyone as
dangerous looking as a bicyclist was not allowed."

"So, referring to my map, I said "I guess I'll cut through that next
neighborhood" referring to one immediately south. The young guy said
"Oh, I'd never go through there! When I come to work, I never even
drive
through there. Around here, I keep my car doors locked and I get
locked
into my booth as soon as I arrive."

"Well, the "problem" was that I was proposing to ride through a black
neighborhood. I ignored the timid kid and rode through it - past
little
kids playing who smiled and waved at me as I rode by, past well
dressed
ladies leaving a little church, until I got to the coast road. It was
far from terrifying, despite the guard's paranoia."
